To solve proportions, you need to set up a ratio equation where two ratios are equal to each other. Cross-multiply by multiplying the numerator of the first ratio by the denominator of the second ratio, and vice versa. Then solve for the variable by dividing both sides of the equation by the coefficient of the variable. Finally, check your solution by plugging it back into the original proportion to ensure it balances.
